Reaction Paper
Stress
Stress is a normal or general physical and emotional state that accompanies the stress response, and a physical and emotional reactions to a stressor, that any physical or psychological event or condition that produces physical and emotional reactions. I could only think of the last time I have faced the most significant stress I ever discover, and to be honest I was really young at that time, maybe it was fourteen years of age. This significant stress is based on a relationship with a twenty year old guy from my church, and we were having a relationship. My parents find out, and they want it me to dump this guy, because I was too young and the guy was too old for me. It takes about two month to get over it, and I was distressed trying to dump this guy, it gives me a hard time to dump him. I admire this guy so much, because he was the most adorable person I ever met. But thank God I overcome this stupid feeling, because it was not right at all and I have to obey my parents, it’s a must for me. When I faced stress, I would say that I never really show to anyone, I just pretend that I am okay and I hide this feeling especially in front of my friends and family. I just show it when I am alone or when my appetite is occur, I always keep those emotion to myself and I feel it’s the right thing to do. I released stress by talking to a pastor or preacher, a friend and sibling. When I hide the stress feelings, it really help me to deal with it and the stress feelings never bothers me when I wanted to do something important, it never bothers me when I’m not intended to think about it. There this one time when I got stressed so badly, it leads me to bad situation that causes headaches and fever. But sooner I deal with it so hard to let it go, but once I try to think about it, it causes me so much stress, I did the best I can to avoid those stress emotional when it comes to bad memory

    The term stress is the response of individuals to stressors. Stressors are events that threaten individuals and tax their coping abilities. I was in situations where my coping abilities where threaten. For Instance, last year I was going through a time I had major damages to my vehicle where I couldn’t drive for almost 2 months. I didn’t cope with it very well because I needed transportation to get back and forth to work; I was briefly going to school as well. During the 2 months all I wondered was, how I was going to get my car fixed and how was I going to come up with money. By doing that made things worst. Another stressor I’ve dealt with was, dealing with being unemployed for 6 months. It was times I coped with and other times I didn’t do so well with it. I didn’t worry about being unemployed at the beginning because I was fine financially and if I couldn’t find anything I could always reapply to my previous employer in 2 months. Things got worst when I found out we were moving once again and my mom didn’t have the money she needed to prepare to move again and started to worry me. The reason why I because, don’t like to see my mom struggle and as I embrace being the man of house I start worry about getting a job and coming up with the money to help my mom out. I attempted to try to get my old job back which I felt optimistic about the interview, but as I was waiting patiently for a phone call I never received one. So I decided to call them and they decided to go with another person for the job. I was very disappointed and lost focus on other things I had to deal with in my life.…

    Becoming a mother in her teenage years is not an ideal situation for most young women. Young adults in this age bracket are still growing, physically and emotionally, and are not always as equipped to handle adult situations as they might think. Teen mothers face adult responsibilities even before they give birth, and the obligations continue for years down the road. Teenage pregnancy in developed countries is usually outside of marriage, and carries a social stigma in many communities and cultures, which ultimately takes a huge toll on adolescent mothers as there are many pressures put on her to resort to abortion, something that is potentially harming psychologically and physically. Additionally, this social stigma furthers the negative judgment from the surrounding people in the teen mother’s life including friends, family, teachers, employers, and strangers; this negative judgment may include a great deal of prejudice placed on the mother, implying their promiscuity, and the assumptions that they will get into drugs, and resort to welfare. Furthermore, teenage pregnancy and parenting interfere with education, resulting in limited employment options and difficulties earning the great deal of money needed for the additional costs of raising a child. The need to sacrifice many social opportunities that coincide with adolescence arises, as well as the challenges in keeping up with friends that are on completely different life paths than the teen mother. Also, difficulties maintaining stable relationships with the father of the child, and family members of the pregnant/parenting teenager emerge.…

    It was a cold night. I can’t explain the emotions that I felt inside. At first I was so scared to try but when the time I touched his hot and hard body I felt secured and contented. He forced me to do the things that I don’t want to do. Well actually the truth is I’ve tried sex way back when I was in high school. I got pregnant and tried an abortion but it was too late … I can’t do anything! I cried and ran as fast as I could just to escape that unprepared pregnancy. When I woke up I just realized I was dreaming, making an illusion that I tried sex at the age of fourteen. That dream makes me crazy and it keeps coming back in my mind.…

    Throughout life teenagers go through very tough decisions that could mold their future for the rest of their lives. At such a young age, adolescents believe that they’re old enough to make their own decisions on crucial matters. One of those choices is deciding that it’s time to have a child.

Once you go through with it there’s no going back; your childhood is over, it’s time to become an adult. There are too many negative outcomes for teenage mothers that pregnancy as an adolescent should be illegal.

    When I was in high school there were many girls getting pregnant. Teenage pregnancies are typically young girls around the age of thirteen through nineteen. Young teens that get pregnant don’t know all the consequences for their actions regarding life changes. A lot of these teens don’t get the right prenatal care, the baby or the mom sometimes get birth and health defects. Unfortunately, only 40% of teen mothers finish high school. Fewer than 2 percent finish college by the age of 30. The purpose of this essay is to thoroughly describe teen pregnancy and their problems, how can teen pregnancy be prevented and a possible solution. Although having a baby can be a blessing, I believe there are not many things being done to prevent teenage pregnancy.…
